Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a system 100 for automatically generating a query to a DICOM server (e.g, 110), in accordance with various aspects of the present invention. The system 100 includes a patient identification card 120 belonging to a medical patient. The patient identification card includes a bar code 125 with encoded patient identification information. The patient identification information may include, for example, the patient's name, a patient identification number, the patient's sex (male or female), the patient's date of birth, and the patient's age. Other identification information is possible as well (e.g., insurance information), in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention. The patient identification card 120 is typically the same size and shape as a standard credit card. However, other sizes and shapes are possible as well, in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.

Abstract

A system and method for automatically generating a query to a DICOM server are disclosed. The system comprises patient identification information encoded in a tangible medium. The system further comprises a reading device to read the encoded patient identification information from the tangible medium. The system also includes a computer-based platform hosting a medical software application. The computer-based platform operationally interfaces to the reading device to receive the read patient identification information from the reading device and to automatically generate a DICOM query, using the medical software application, such that the DICOM query includes at least a portion of the patient identification information. The system further comprises at least one DICOM server operationally interfacing to the computer-based platform to receive the DICOM query from the computer-based platform.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to submitting queries to a DICOM server. More particularly, certain embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method to use encoded information to automatically generate and submit queries to a DICOM server. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a well-known standard for transferring images and associated information between devices manufactured by various vendors. Typically, a DICOM server is used to store, organize, and manage medical images. Various external systems may desire to communicate with a DICOM server to store images to the DICOM server and / or to retrieve images from the DICOM server by submitting queries to the DICOM server. [0003] However, the DICOM standard provides for more than the transferring and storing of digital medical images. Other DICOM functions include media storage, query / retrieve, worklist query, make image ...
